About this map

The Salmon River and its entry into Lake Ontario anchor this mid-century survey of the Oswego County shoreline. The village of Pulaski appears as a developed hub, featuring the Academy and Central Sch and the North Street Road Cemetery to the north. Along the lakefront, the landscape transitions from the protected wetlands of Selkirk Shores State Park and Marsh to developed summer colonies like Rainbow Shores and Ramona Beach.

Rural crossroads such as Tinker Tavern Corner, Maltby Corners, and Daysville Corner reflect a traditional pattern of settlement that persisted well into the 1950s. The maritime history of the region is centered at Port Ontario, where the Selkirk Lighthouse stands at the river mouth near the deep-water point known as the Black Hole. The map also captures numerous family-named roads and small community graveyards, including the Daysville Cem and South Richland Cem, which provide specific data points for local genealogy.
